Synopsis

The court affirmed the denial of a tenant's post-judgment motion to dismiss an illegal lockout petition. The tenant's motion was made nearly a year after the unappealed final judgment for the landlord, thus waiving objections, including property ownership. The court further clarified that the issues raised did not implicate subject matter jurisdiction, as the Civil Court undeniably possesses jurisdiction over RPAPL Article 7 summary proceedings.
